Comments about Product:Now that the bench is finally put together, it is ok. But the putting together was problematic. When one side locked the other side unlocked. It says no tools needed but I found a hard rubber mallet was the only way to get things together. Be ready to deal with sections that do not necessarily fit together easily.

Comments about Product:Expensive and won't snap together even with rubber mallet. Two of us couldn't pry the plastic apart so it would fit together properly. It's on my porch lopsided and leaking. Never again!!!

Comments about Product:We live in the country and we bought this to keep muddy shoes and boots off front porch away from puppies, looks great, super easy to put together, its sturdy, provides great storage and gives you a place to sit when putting on or removing shoes. I would highly recommend this product...really wanted to purchase the cushion but was afraid the puppies would chew it up. Still looks great without cushion!

Comments about Product:I wanted a functional piece to use outdoors for storage of gardening tools and children's toys. This bench does that perfectly, and looks great, too! The only downside was putting it together. It is supposed to quickly snap in place in 5 minutes but in reality it was more like 20 minutes. Also, the recommended cushion (classic swing) is just a little on the large side. It bows slightly in the middle. This is a minor annoyance, and I think with time it will sit flat.

The Olla: A Brief History

Olla (Spanish, pronounced “oh-ya”) jars have been around since ancient times. Made of unglazed ceramic, ollas traditionally have short, narrow necks with wider bodies, and are made in a variety of shapes. They have been used for thousands of years for cooking, storage, and plant irrigation.

When used to irrigate plants, an olla is buried neck-deep in the ground near a plant’s roots, with the opening of the olla extended above the soil so that it can be filled with water periodically. The porous walls of the unglazed pottery allow the water to seep through gradually, constantly and consistently hydrating the plants without overwatering them – and without wasting precious water to evaporation or runoff.

The use of ollas for irrigation was introduced to the American Southwest by Spanish conquistadors during Colonial times, becoming very common among Native American tribes and Hispanic settlers. Though the technique gave way to more modern methods of irrigation some time ago, its superior efficiency, coupled with its simplicity, has caused it to make a comeback. Though the technique has changed little since its introduction, today’s ollas are usually capped off, making them even more water-efficient.

Perfect for home gardens, Ollas are a super-easy, eco-friendly, less time-consuming way to water annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables and plants of all kinds in dry, sandy soil, very hot or drought-prone areas, raised beds, and even pots, planters and hanging baskets. Fill the olla before you leave on a short vacation to enjoy worry-free watering – and a smaller water bill!
